American Vs. Chinese Workers age requirements

With the liberals constantly setting limitations to the work in which children(I'm more so speaking of early teens) can do these days it is no wonder why our children are falling behind. They have no work ethic.

The chinese have their children working early on in their lives. I don't see anything wrong with that. If the children want to work or have to work to support their familie's let them work.

Possibly this is their version of no child left behind. At least they weren't aborted. Right?

We are stuck with a bunch of obese, drug addicted, self entitled shite heads for the most part thanks to the liberal government.

Nobody is talking about dropping out of school. They can drop them off at Wal-Mart after school. Wal-Mart doesn't close until 10 and many stay open all night. Many loiter in front of the Wal-Mart after school anyways. Might as well give them some stickers to hand out.

Yeah you all are right. Let's follow the communist model and institute Universal health Care too. Then let's muzzle the press and free speech. You all are crazy except you are right about kids these days.

Are you just going to shite on this thread or actually offer a solution to kids with no work ethic?

I agree that most kids have no work ethic and sit with their thumbs texting all day but you can't say no schooling or whatever. Lowering the work age just opens kids up for exploitation. Interesting questions but following China just seems wrong.

Yeah but kids are expecting to handed stuff on a platter because we parents started them that way.

I don't know if anyone is seriously advocating that they drop out of school. I'm not. But I think people who never work wind up sucking at life later too.

To the point about inner city kids not being able to mow lawns - there's still plenty to do, IMO. Babysit, as mentioned. Wash cars. Not that this is legal technically, but lots of mom and pops would pay to have their trash taken out, patios swept, etc.

And parents can put their kids to work at home. All kids should have chores.

Exactly

For the most part my friends who worked in high school ended up being the most successful as of now. I am 24 and am close to both ends of the spectrum. My friends who never worked in high school, and a few who never worked in college, are having the most difficult time putting down the xbox controller, turning off FIFA, and finding/working a real job.

If parents want to hand their children money until they are twenty three without having them develop a work ethic then that will be their problem when that kid is living on their couch until they are thirty.

The one's who start early and balance their work and education will be the one's who will have developed marketable skills and most importantly a work ethic.

This is why India and China are dominating employment in the States as of recently. They have an ethic and begin at an early age. They do not have a nipple to suck on until they are 22.
